--offset-azimuth works. It doesn't affect the aircraft heading, however, only its position. Try: fgfs --offset-distance=3 --offset-azimuth=300 --vc=100 --altitude=1500 And you should find that you end up south of KSFO and that the heading to the threshold is 300. > > Wendell > > _______________________________________________ > Flightgear-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel -- Tony Peden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
